DETACHABLE BAND FOR- GARMENTS.

Application filed May 12,

This invention relates to a new and improved detachable band for garments, particularly for use with childrens garments, although not necessarily limited thereto.

It is the object of this invention, among other things, to provide a simple and effective device that may be separably attached to one or more garments which will facilitate securing the latter in position on the body of the wearer and releasing the same there from by the manipulation of a single fastening means which is so simple in its operation that achild can operate it.

The improvements in the details and arrangement of parts will be apparent from an inspection of the accompanying drawings in connection with the description hereinafter contained, and wherein a preferred embodiment of the invention is disclosed for the purpose of inrparting an understanding of the same.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is an elevation of my new and improved detachable band for garments;

Figure 2 is an enlarged transverse sectional View thereof, the parts in section being taken generally upon line 22 of Figure 1;

In the drawings like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures.

My improved band is generally constructed with a web member and elastic members 11 and 12 connected therewith.

Either one or both of these elastic members may be provided with a slide loop 13, as is usual, to vary the length thereof.

Connected with either the web member or the elastic member, or both, are the fastening devices, comprising a plate 14 having a fixed button 15 thereon and a loop plate 16 having a slot 17 therein, as is usual, the width of the latter being substantially the same as the shank of the button 15. In use, the button 15 is first projected through the enlarged portion of the slot 17 and then the plate 16 is pulled outwardly so that the shank of the button 15 lies within the slot, as is usual.

In Figure 1 each of these plates 14 and 16 is connected with an elastic member.

Fixed at one end to the web member 10 are a plurality of tapes 19 having near their outer ends the cap 20 of the ordinary glove 1927. Serial No. 190 861.

fastener, the shank 21 of which fixed to the web member 10. These loops 19 are passed through the button-holes 22 in the band 25 of either the rompers 23 or drawers 2%, or both. as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and then the cap 20 is pressed onto the shank 21, thus securing the garments to the band.

Associated with the web member 10, adjacent to the tapes 19, I have provided additlonal shanks 21, so that the tapes when connected therewith will hold the band closer to the garment. Vith this removable band, which is secured to either one or both of the childrens garments, or even more if neces sary, the latter can be readily and instantly released by disengaging the fasteners 1. 1 and 16, an operation which a child itself can perform, and the garments can be as readily returned to their former position by restoring the fastening members to their locked positions. This band is thus readily adapted for attachment to more than one garment, can be readily removed from the garments while the same are being washed, and a single band for a child is all that is required irrespective of the number of garments a child may have or use.

YVithin the limit and scope of the appended claims, the form and shape of my detachable band may be varied. but I desire it to be understood that what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. A detachable band for garments, comprising a band, atape member having one end permanently afiixed toone side of said band and the other end of said member detachably afiixed to the other side of said band for separably securing one or more garments thereto.

2. A detachable band for garments having a. plurality of members associated therewith and designed to pass through holes in one or more garments, each of the members being secured to the band in spaced relation to each other and forming a plurality of depending loops to support the garment thereon, one end of each of said members being permanently secured to one side of the band and the other end of each of said members being separably secured to the opposite side of the band.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto affiXed my signature.

ROSS M. G. PHILLIPS.
